MahaSansaar is a newly designed beehive called MahaGhar that includes a robotic arm, vision, and IoT. Using computer vision it constantly monitors the bees in a device, and an IoT system identifies their needs in real-time. By applying existing treatment that beekeepers would (but utilizing robotics), it addresses bees' needs in real-time, in the field, without human intervention. 

The solution can feed and water bees, treat illnesses and pests, address climate-related issues with an active climate control system (both temperature(20-25°C) and humidity(50-75%)), harvest honey, prevent 100% swarming, and do frame manipulation such as split hives, combine hives, etc. (which is about 95% of what beekeepers do to their hives today).

Key Highlights

• Bees are dying in droves all around the world, like climate change, pesticides, diseases, pests, and more for which this project can be a savior.
• Commercial beekeepers can be benefitted from this project that reduces their labor and cost.
• A cost-optimized technology solution for beekeeping is a great tool of innovation.

Why It Matters

• Technology in beekeeping technology is a new initiative for the nation which can take over a huge potential.
• AI and IoT is new and efficient tool usable in beekeeping to a huge level.
• The core team wishes to take it to an international level with proper funding and research opportunities.
